Kamara scored after returning from injury: This gives me more confidence.

Aston Villa defeated Thai club Pathum United 3-1 in a friendly match thanks to goals from Buendia, Lindelof, and Kamara. Kamara said he didn't expect to score upon returning to the pitch and hopes to maintain his excellent form with confidence.

In the 12th minute, Buendia scored after receiving the ball, giving Aston Villa a 1-0 lead. In the 31st minute, Alisson took a corner kick, and Lindelof headed the ball into the net, extending Aston Villa's lead to 2-0.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, substitute Kamara received a pass back from his teammate and slotted the ball home, extending Aston Villa's lead to 3-0.

Ultimately, Emery's team defeated Baton United 3-1 in this friendly match.

Kamara, 26, suffered an injury during the FA Cup match between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur in January, which ended his season.

Aston Villa midfielder Kamara said, "It feels really good to be back on the pitch. I've been waiting for this moment. I've been working very hard during my recovery, hoping to return stronger, so I'm really happy to be able to play again now."

"I didn't expect to score, it feels really good. This goal has been a big mental boost for me and will give me more confidence. I hope to maintain this form."

In addition, Aston Villa will continue their preparations for the new Premier League season with a friendly match against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in Hong Kong.

Kamara said, "It's really hot here, it's hard to breathe, and the humidity is very high. But that's actually a good thing for the body. I believe everyone will feel much better once we get back to England."
